You're so right. Girls do fight with their words! ANd sometimes it's hard not to act on the rage you feel when someone really pisses you off!

I usually would speak up and say something to the person cutting the line, or something like that. The other day I didn't bother because I thought to myself, well I might just be seen as the stereotypical angry black woman. I wasn't in a hurry so let the idiot go ahead and I did and you wouldn't believe the length of time his transaction took! Some people have no manners though. They do things deliberately that make you wanna go up to them and slap the crap out of them.

I think it's great to let go. I second that. Some things are just not worth getting worked up about.

Not my sisters that is for sure! My older one use to wail on me all the time, until she broke her toe kicking my shins.

Another one tried to stab me with a butter knife!

No, my sisters are not pacifists!

I don't know if it's common sense that prohibits me from acting on any of these urges, but I often wonder if anyone else feels this way.

It's not just you. It happens to me a lot too. Almost all the time, in fact. Like you, I'd never, ever do it, but the urge is there nonetheless. Sometimes just envisioning myself doing it satiates the urge, but sometimes I have to come home and rant about it to get it out of my system.

The last time it happened was last week when I went into St Louis. There was a wreck, and I was stuck in traffic with a car 3' in front of me and a truck so close to the back of me that I couldn't see the license plate. Some stupid beeatch coming from the opposite direction wanted to make a left and get into the parking lot that was just to the rear of my passenger side. She sat there beeping the horn at me intermittently and pointing to the parking lot. I rolled the window down and asked her where the fuck she'd have me go to because I couldn't move, and she just sat there with the blank look on her face, beeping her horn and pointing. For a brief second I had the urge to get out of my truck, go over to her car and punch her right in her stupid fucking face.....
...but I didn't. I called my husband instead and ranted to him about it. By the time I was done the police had got there and were directing traffic, so I was able to move away from the stupid beeatch and her beeping horn. I did notice that nobody that was in line behind me let her get into the parking lot either, and that made me happy.

Rest assured that you are not alone, Nic.

When girls do get physical they go freaking nuts....girls are vicious fighters. They pull hair and go for the eyes...and with those long fingernails....ouch. Guys just bludgeon eachother with fists and feet...and then we're done. A woman scorned, however, well...Satan scares me less than one of those.

I also have rather violent urges at times...but so far, never been in a fight...so I've got some self control.

Who says girls don't get violent?

Probably someone who hasn't spent much time around them! haahahahahah.

Seriously, I was a fighter until my early twenties. Then I gained a little maturity and got over myself...hahaha.

People used to say, "Fighting doesn't solve anything!"

Well be that as it may, it sure made me FEEL better.

But you are wise not to give into the impulse. One of the reasons I gave it up is because you go to JAIL when you put your hands on another person....no matter how justified you think you are.    

Hmm yes I have seen some nasty cat fights, they were quite vicious. The non violent - use words only types were pretty nasty on a different level.

I too have urges to bash someones face in. Just the other day at work, the Portuguese woman I was working with was treating me like shit, not with words just her whole "I am superior attitude", I bit and bit and bit my lip.

I held my hands back from wringing her bitchy little neck - got extremely frustrated from holding my anger in - because of the languages barrier (she does not speak english)and because it was only my second week on the job, I burst into tears and walked off the shop floor, went to the loo and punched the loo door!

Rather the door than her face!

We all struggle with it at one time or another, I do not agree with violence against another persons body so I generally end up punching a door, a wall or a window. I have yet to hit a person - though I dream about doing it all the time and imagine how good it would feel to do it - I don't

Keeping yourself in check is a good thing. Leastways for me it is.

Someone cuts ahead of me in the grocery store? The urge to walk over and give a stern slap to the side of the head is overpowering

This made me laugh, because this is the one place that people infuriate me. I want to start whipping eggs at them. You are not alone by a long shot.

Dharma..I don't know how you didn't get out and slap that woman's face.

I guess we have to do what we have to do to keep from acting on the urges. I

GIRLS CAN TO FIGHT! Heh, and I oughta know 'cause I've learned that shit THE HARD WAY.

  

One of the best punches I ever saw thrown was by a girl in a bar many years ago. We were having a quiet lunch time beer when this girl bursts through the door. There was a guy sitting at the bar, having what looked to be a D&M (deep and meaningful) conversation with another girl.

He sprang from his chair when he saw the first woman. They started arguing about something. My mate and I watched with interest. It was lunch time and the place was pretty boring. The argument got more and more heated until the guy insulted the girl and started to turn around to leave. Suddenly, her fist comes from out of nowhere, like a rocket, and takes this guy out. And I mean O.U.T. It took 3 big blokes to carry the lady outside. My mate and I, while somewhat shocked, laughed a lot about it later. And believe me, I remembered.
